We take but little stock in the charge of
immoral conduct supported by convict

for uprightnesS would seem to dispel such
an idea. His attorney, however, has
sought to divert public attention from his
client. by interlOpating in his answer
charges against the present warden, StOr-
dock. which are not relevant to the case.
These charges are weak, insufficient, and
have no foundation in truth. and should
not be considered by the committee of in

states that petitions for pardOns have been
